#2 in the series of inner journeys accompanying the book Allies & Demons: Working with Spirit for Power and Healing. In the first guided session, we found a sacred space from which to begin our work. Our next step will be to return to this sacred place to connect with a spirit guide in animal form known in shamanic traditions as a power animal. Connecting with a personal power animal is an ancient practice for guidance, healing and empowerment. This creature may make itself available in whatever form is most helpful for you. The form of the animal itself is a teaching and this relationship can provide valuable insight and growth in our personal relationship with power and in the rest of our life.

#3 in the series of inner journeys accompanying the book Allies & Demons: Working with Spirit for Power and Healing. This inner journey provides a path to meet your golden child. The golden child is a wise and powerful part of ourselves, knowing with full clarity its true identity and power potential. The golden child within is naturally connected with the unique gifts and talents we were born to bring into the world. The process we will use to find the golden child is based on the ancient Shamanic practice called soul retrieval. Soul retrieval provides a direct connection to our authentic self and returns vital life energy to us physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and energetically. Connecting with the golden child is a powerful step on our path to wholeness. This curious, compassionate, creative part of our self can be a source of joy, creativity, courage, and wonder when we reconnect with it as adults. When disconnected from our true nature, we lose access to an essential part of our being. By bringing our golden child into the present moment, we receive power and resources previously unavailable to us.
